WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

• If you’re expecting the Boilermakers to blister the nets again, think again. It’s not who they are this season. They showed they’re capable of putting together a performance like the one Sunday against Penn State, shooting a program-record 73.5 percent from the field. That’s about 30 percentage points higher than the season average, which is what you should expect in the remaining games. But Purdue does need to show more consistent offensive production and Sunday could be the starting point.

• The Boilermakers’ shooting percentage jumped from 39.0 to 43.1 in Big Ten games after Sunday’s performance.

• Michigan shouldn’t have any worries watching this year’s NCAA tournament selection show unless there’s a collapse coming. That is unlikely based on how the Wolverines have played. The significant win that was missing last year has already been secured and Michigan appears to be in the running for the Big Ten regular season title up until the end when it closes with Michigan State, Minnesota and Maryland.

• Stat to watch: Free throws. The Wolverines and the Boilermakers have combined to make 81.3 percent during Big Ten games. Michigan has made and attempted the most of any conference team during the league season.

• The Wolverines are one of two Big Ten teams to shoot better than 45 percent from the field but also hold league opponents to less than 40 percent. Nebraska is the other.

• February brings the toughest part of the conference schedule for the Boilermakers, who have positioned themselves to earn an NCAA tournament bid. Winning at Michigan, Maryland and Ohio State will be difficult but the focus is taking care of business against Illinois twice and beating Minnesota, Indiana and Michigan State at Mackey Arena to avoid the dreaded bad loss heading into the Big Ten tournament.
